About this tool

Independent consultants and their clients both work better with the deal in writing. Enter the consultant, the client and a plain description of the services, then pick hourly or flat-rate billing with your price; the compensation clause formats the number and the payment terms (net-15 or net-30) follow automatically. The draft also covers expenses, independent-contractor status with its tax consequences, assignment of work product to the client, protection of the consultant's pre-existing tools, confidentiality, a term with a start date and length, termination notice and governing law, ending in two signature blocks. This template is a starting point, not legal advice — have a qualified professional review before use. Misclassification and IP edge cases are the usual tripwires, so a review is worth it. Nothing is uploaded — all drafting happens on your device.
